We all make jokes that don’t land, but sometimes we make jokes that should’ve been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should’ve had people in stitches but… didn’t land?

Now is your time!

    Btw, your figurines, and the framing/setting of the picture, are pretty rad.

    So you make these as a hobby?

    Are all of the models you make similar characters just in different settings/outfits/poses?

    What kind of printer do you use?

      Thank you. I do photography occasionally as a hobby. Tho I did use my phone. I manipulated the lighting to force the phone camera to open up the aperture, which makes the depth of field shallow. Which makes the background blurry.

      It’s easy to do in a dslr. But you have to trick a phone camera to do it. Via Low lighting.

      Also yes I’m just a hobbyist. And there are two of these models. Sitting and standing. They are based on vintage Japanese Xmas decorations called “snow baby”.

      They are rare and expensive. Made in the 60s.

      I wanted to make my own.

      I also make other little characters/dolls and other random stuff.

      I like vintage kitchy stuff.

      My last big project was designing a working cat clock with tail and eyes that move. Based on kit cat clocks. But different enough they can’t sue me. 😅

      All my models are free.

      But as for the snow babies. Ive made like 30 of them. I have friends, relatives, and people from online groups who want some. So I’ve been making a ton.

      There are some on my Instagram but I have way more.

      Also a model for the brick and Molotov on there.

      Do you do 3d printing ?
